Having wintered in Florida since 2007 and lived all over Sarasota and dined in many wonderful restaurants, this is one of my absolute favorite. Wonderful service, great menu with delicious food and gracious ambiance. A hidden gem.

From the moment we stepped in the door every moment was delightful. A friendly welcome and taken to our table where a delightful person came to take our drink order. Food well presented and delicious. The view of the garden was superb. We will definitely return soon.

A very good dining experience. Though this one was a bit slow even tho the place wasn't busy. My medium requested lamb chops came out rare. Long times between courses. But nice server--don't think it was his fault.
Lisa
A varied menu that offers classic selections. Everything is prepared to order, is perfectly executed, and beautifully presented. Take your time to enjoy the view in the gardens or sit outside. There is a full bar and a good wine list. The service is (thanks Rob) attentive but not intrusive, with no rushing. We love coming for special events.

The staff are outstanding and certainly add to a most pleasant dining experience. Our dinners were expertly prepared and well presented. We also enjoyed a table by the window which overlooked the beautiful gardens. We definitely are dining there again!
Patricia
The food was ok. The duck dish was good, but the sauce was very peppery, and needed to be more sweet to accompany the duck. The sweet breads were very good. The parfait was not good. The brittle was bitter almost burnt tasting and dumping straight liquor just isn't that tasty. The atmosphere was nice...but very old school. Service was slow...but it was busy.
Deborah
White tablecloths in a quiet setting. Excellent service. Just like it used to be for fine dining!

First foray - it was brilliant. We had the salmon on a risotto (2), rack of lamb with a mint sauce, and roasted duck with a creamed spinach, carrots and rice. Apps were Maryland crab cakes and each couples split salads. Finished with a shared Roessler’s parfait. Recommend bin 400 icy cold Chardonnay and the Malbec. Annette delivered delicious meals perfectly with a lovely and professional attitude. Great food, lovely ambiance and outdoor scenery was exquisite. Definitely will revisit.

Classy, fine dining, but not snooty. German slant to cuisine.
